The weather was idyllic; the photobooth was a-snappin’ away; the whiskey cider was sizzling; the energy was high. All in all, a flawless setting for an amazing evening.

This past Thursday we had the pleasure of having our [HELLOX6 2-Year Anniversary] at V.O.D. in Victory Park with a special trunk show from the oh-so charming (and talented) Magda Berliner and a super-hip and sexy pop up shop from House of MacGregor. Truly was one for the ages.

Special thanks to Jackie and Liz at V.O.D., Magda, Lindsey, (big) Lucy and (little) Lucy, Stephanie, Meegs, our intern and our intern’s intern, Ryan from thephotostand.com, DJ Blake Ward, and of course, Jason Acton for these awesome photos. You can find the rest of the action HERE.

This year, for our 2-year anniversary, we have (finally!) gotten a chance to team up with the ever-so-charming and always fashionable folks at V.O.D. Boutique to bring you a night filled with handmade crochet and lace dresses (Magda Berliner), custom cocktail fedoras (House of MacGregor), groovy ear candy (DJ Blake Ward), the sickest blog in Dallas (Helloooooo.com, obviously) and a dozen or so dancing circus midgets (we wish). And don’t forget the libations and photobooth!

……and a special special thanks to The Blake Wright for custom crafting this UNREAL invite…..

Last week was both the Grand Opening of Teddy’s Room and the launch of [Thursdays] with our homey DJ Politik providing the nasty beats. They say a picture says a thousand words — with Dustin Hollywood behind the camera, the picture can speak somewhere in the millions. Minimum.

See you all tonight for [Teddy's Room THURSDAYS] with the lovely DAKOTA on stage dancing and DJ Automatic on the decks.

Last week we announced the launching of [ Teddy's Room THURSDAYS ] with DJ Politik on 5/27… now we wanna give you a sneak peek as to what to expect from this much-needed addition to the Dallas nightlife scene. Named after our 26th President, Teddy’s Room boasts a sophisticated, library-esque decor; burlesque dancing from the world-renowned Carolina Cerisola (above); and live jazz music by The Rough Riders (above x 2). Best part of all? Teddy’s is located in the heart of Uptown Dallas (right above Coalvine’s Pizza) so you won’t have to take out a loan just to park or make your way to the death-trap also known as Downtown Dallas. Do the math.

So last week we made it out to the HOYOTOHO Videopera Release Party which had a great turnout. It was the first time in years I think I drank Vodka as thats all they had and I wont lie I liked it. As you will see below in the video these guys poured their heart and soul into every song. I really have to give mad love to Tim K. who put the video together and Calvin Bradley the lead singer as these guys really pulled off a stellar show. Check out the opening track below Read to Die Dying to live and buy their new ALBUM on iTUNES or off the bands website linked above.

Scardello is one of Dallas’ BEST cheese shops!  I had the honor of being invited to the shop for a running competition they have been having between different regions of the world that have similar cheeses.  Last weeks competitor’s were the WEST COAST vs. SPAIN, with the West Coast demolishing Spain.  With each cheese matching from either region there were specific wines paired with them.  I found that I didn’t know very much on cheese or the wine but as the class/competition progressed my knowledge and conversation on the subject grew.  We were told to use our 4 senses: TOUCH, SMELL, TASTE, & SIGHT, to judge the different cheeses. At first it was hard trying to use different adjectives and likenesses to describe them, but after awhile it came easy.  This is probably the funnest, not to mention most informative, wine/cheese tasting I’ve ever had!  The staff and presentation was perfect, it couldn’t have been presented better!  I recommend SCARDELLO CHEESE SHOP to any and everyone who has a passion for fine cheese and wine, only the best is hand-picked to be in this shop!

Woke up Saturday morning and had no idea I would be spending my entire day at Edge Fest with Dustin Hollywood for his birthday.  To be honest with you compared with SXSW and Coachella and ACL, Edge Fest was very different. Imagine 2 stages on a soccer field and some hard core crowd surfers and mosh pit crazies except the tricky park is half of them were 10-12 years old. Nevertheless the shows were good and the weather turned out to be amazing. Metric and Phoenix were the highlight for me at the 2nd smaller stage. It was cool to watch them at Edge Fest since the crowds were smaller and there were lots of people just enjoying themselves. Good way to spend a random Saturday if you ask me.

DJ iNDO is all over Hellox6.com… literally. Dude created our site’s logo (see: above) as winner of our logo contest, and he also hooked it up with the ill flyer for our SXSW Backyard Blowout (see: sickest party ever). That said, we are pretty stoked to have him back for our [Music Friday] feature with a 2 part jazzy funky summer mix, aptly entitled “Summer Beats Vol. 1/2.” Got ‘em both loaded on my iPod as I head to NYC for the weekend but the verdict is already in: yet another victory for Mr. iNDO.

Jonathan Zizzo is officially a part of the Hellox6 crew. Last night as a first task we headed to the Granada Theater to shoot Pretty Lights. We met with the band briefly backstage and Zizzo got a cool shot with our new sticker. The crowd was made up surprisingly of SMU kids which was weird, but all in all great show as these guys make a sick duo.  As always a very special thanks to the Granada Theater for always being so hospitable. We love you.
